Mike Ditka is a man’s man. A Hall of Fame football player, he was the 1961 Rookie of the Year and won a championship with the Chicago Bears in 1963. Five times he made the pro-bowl and five times he was chosen as the NFL’s first team All-Pro tight end. When his playing days were over he moved into coaching, eventually becoming the hard-nosed head coach of the Monsters of the Midway.
